Three more cases and new symptoms on the list

There are three more cases of COVID-19 reported over the long weekend in the local districts.
Communications spokesperson Leonardo Vecchio says all three cases were reported by Algoma Public Health on Saturday.
Case 18 was an international traveller while 19 and 20 are positives, but where they got the virus is unknown.
He adds all three are from the Sault Ste. Marie area, are self-isolating and close contacts have or are being notified.
Meanwhile, Health Sciences North is reporting the Ministry of Health has updated the symptoms for COVID-19 testing.
Communications director Jason Turnbull says sneezing and hoarse voice have been removed from the list of symptoms for testing.
However, he says children, those who are 65 years of age and older, or those with developmental disabilities, should also be monitored for muscle aches, unexplained fatigue, headache, barking cough or pink eye.
Screening is available at health centres in all three districts, but anyone wanting to be tested must contact the local assessment centre.
And, the resident that originally tested positive at the Wiikwemkoong Nursing Home was swabbed for a third time on May 13 and confirmation has been received that the swab was negative.
No further swabs need to be done for this resident.
However, daily screening of both residents and staff will continue.
